Yes I've done it that way even at some times using a lead capping. If I'm understanding the OP he wants to not be able to see the top of the posts or the boards so it in effect looks like a thicker wooden "wall" . That would require the boards and posts to be at the same height to allow a length...

As this is a DIY forum there's always the option of making a nice wooden case .

Common enough to see posts higher than the fence and probably a personal choice as to whether it looks right or wrong , but that really isn't the issue as for a capping you ideally need the tops of the posts and the boards so you may very well end up adding a bit to the post tops. When...

Interesting to hear of john's efforts . I've tried it once on a workshop window and was worried about condensation so put some unslaked lime in between the glass . That was over thirty years ago and that window is still clear but perhaps not the prettiest thing in the world. I'd personally say...

Not really wanting to get in on this so I'll just post a link, http://www.spectator.co.uk/2016/02/if-the-migrant-crisis-goes-on-like-this-there-may-be-no-eu-for-britain-to-leave/

More a comment about the whole free trade nonsense. Free trade is one of those meaningless phrases that are banded about as if it actually exists .invariably one side will gain a distinct advantage and the other side will start with tariffs , quotas or what ever and the myth of free trade...

But just how do we ensure that it doesn't happen? We're talking about a simple transfer of power from Brussels to Westminster . That in itself I don't disagree with but we could just be swopping one form of government for something very similar albeit with less foreign languages , the same old...

Hardly a free trade arrangement then , more an example of how free trade is at best an illusion and at worst total *******s . Free trade should essentially be country A gives unhindered access to it's markets to country B and vice versa. Thus we should have no cause to complain China is dumping...

Thanks both. I've been doing a bit more searching on the net and most of that seems to tie in with chappers post. It appears the light is just green and on with no flashing or whatever to indicate charging or charged or faulty. Seems to be something of a design fault in my eyes. As I mentioned i...

I grew up in council housing and one thing that stands out in the memory is the gloss painted front doors. The council had four colours , red , blue , yellow and green and all in high gloss. Four houses were painted one colour and the next four another and so on in a repeating pattern. They were...

Yes and that highlights a worry that all this talk of our own sovereignty and running of our own country rings a bit hollow . We ( the public we) could be handing control back to those who in reality are completely unconcerned with sovereignty but totally concerned with returns on their assets.

Not disagreeing with you but it strikes me that if a lot of the people currently arguing about this issue hadn't brought german cars and filled their Italian fridges with French wine and cheese we wouldn't be having this discussion about trade.

Yes I agree. There's a lot of talk about the representatives of the EU not being voted for by us ( except for British MEPs obviously) but it's exactly the same situation in regards to our own parliament . We can vote for one person but can't vote for the other 649 ! So is there any real...

I've just found the same charger on eBay and have asked the question to the seller . Hopefully they won't think I'm being too cheeky and will give me a definitive answer.

Nothing no light at all.

Well it's been plugged in for an hour and in all that time the light just stayed on. To be honest I expected a flashing light . As far as I understand the battery could have been sat doing nothing for three years or more so hardly likely to have any charge in it. I'll have to dig out my tester...

I far as I can tell there's only one light on the charger and that appears to be only green . It's been that long since I've used a Bosch drill ( old squarish 14.4volt jobbies) that I just can't remember .

Ah the joys of wet timber. Puts me in mind of a job where I was replacing lead gutters. The timber came almost straight from being treated (water based tantalised) and was soaking wet. I put the gutters in , pushing the boards together. Architect came along and instantly said "no" . There should...

Cheers , that's what I had in mind. Do you happen to know the details of the charger light , on continuously , flashing or does it flash quicker if the battery is damaged , that sort of thing?

I've just acquired ( legally from a clearance not the back of a lorry) a Bosch charger and battery. The charger is numbered AL 1404 7.2v-14.4v and the battery is a 1.5 ah ni cad . I haven't got any Bosch gear so I'm unsure of how it should work . When I plug it in a green light appears ( only...
